About this sound

✦ AI

The short Huawei startup chime that plays when a Huawei phone powers on, used in tech videos and memes to signal a device booting up or a fresh start.

The Huawei Start sound is the brief, polished chime heard when a Huawei device powers on, built from a few soft, rising synth notes that swell gently and then resolve into a calm, confident finish. It lasts about five seconds and feels clean, modern and quietly optimistic rather than loud or dramatic, giving a phone or tablet a recognisable audio signature the moment it wakes up. In edits, that familiar opening instantly tells viewers a device is switching on, a scene is beginning, or something new is about to be revealed, without distracting from the visuals that follow.

Huawei, the Chinese technology company best known for its smartphones and tablets, gives its devices a short branded sound when they power on, much like other phone makers use a boot chime to mark the start of the system. The tone has circulated beyond the phones themselves through soundboards, ringtone collections and tech videos, where creators reuse it to imitate a Huawei device starting up or to joke about switching phones. It remains in use because it is instantly recognisable to anyone who has owned or reviewed a Huawei handset, even without any image on screen.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the chime right on the cut to a phone screen lighting up, and let it finish before any dialogue starts. Pair it with a soft boot animation, and avoid layering it over music, since its quiet rising notes are easily buried.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Signalling a phone powering on in a tech review.
  • Opening a Huawei unboxing or setup video.
  • Marking a fresh start in a meme edit.
  • Introducing a new device in a comparison clip.
